How much exactly is a rep with dumbells?

I'm talking about reps. If it's with barbell, it's just one lift I believe. How many lifts are in a rep for dumbells.
 
A rep is defined by the limits of reach.

Example...pull-ups: Full extrension down, so the arms are straight, lift until the bar goes past the neckline, preferably to the chest, then back to full extension.

That's one rep.
 
The same principles apply. A rep is defined by it's range of motion.

Say shoulder presses: Start with the weight at about ear height, extend the arms up fully until locked, lower back down to ear height. That's one rep.
 
A rep means a repetition. all the way up and back down always is one rep. (sometimes the exercise starts at the top, so its all the way down, and then back up).

never matters if its barbells, dumbbells, a machine...
